The Summit will house all the biggest names in online video advertising to enlighten and educate, and ReelSEO’s founder Mark Robertson will be moderating a panel called, “Using Video as a Strategic Engagement Tool,” and you should come out to see him.

VideoNuze Online Video Advertising Summit: Why You Should Go

The impressive program will be jam-packed with information on trends, tips, and more. We talked with Will Richmond, editor and publisher of VideoNuze and who will open up the program with welcoming remarks:

ReelSEO: Who would be an ideal attendee, IE – who is the summit targeted towards? Who stands to benefit and learn most?

Will Richmond: The Summit is ideal for executives at agencies, advertisers, content publishers, technology providers and anyone else in the ecosystem for whom online video advertising is critical to their future success.

RSEO: What are you most excited about when it comes to the show? What are you most excited about with regard to the online video industry?

WR: I’m really excited about the range of speakers and sessions at the Summit – we have all the critical perspectives (e.g. publisher, advertiser, agency, technology) and topics (e.g. Research, brand development, creative, connected devices, media buying, etc.) very well covered. It’s going to be a stimulating day of learning and networking for attendees, and will surely help accelerate the online video advertising space. At a higher level, online video usage is exploding, as viewers come to appreciate the choice and convenience it offers. This is creating a huge tailwind for advertising.

RSEO: What else would people be interested to know about this Summit?

WR: As I’ve often said, the reality for video content providers distributing online is that the vast, vast majority of it will be ad-supported. Once you get past things like Netflix, Hulu Plus, iTunes and the TV Everywhere players, monetization will be through advertising. That’s why it’s so critical that the market be accelerated – with key challenges addresses and best practices shared. That’s what the VideoNuze Online Video Advertising Summit is all about – bringing together the industry’s thought-leaders to drive this opportunity forward.

We’d like to thank Will Richmond for his time!

At this summit, ReelSEO founder/CEO Mark Robertson is moderating a panel that will be discussing the American Express/Google/YouTube joint venture, “My Business Story,” something our own Greg Jarboe wrote about last year.

The panel will talk about the success of this program for small businesses as they turned to video to reach out to their existing and to potential new customers.

Here’s some background on what the contest entailed:
